Each PhotoJourney book is in two parts - specific preparation for this photojourney, and then the Journey itself.

The preparation is about general planning for the Journey: what to take, tips on
air travel, accommodation, etc, as well as information for this specific Journey.
This is useful information for any photographic trip. Read it. Or skip it.

The Journey section contains a series of images followed by comments on these images.
The comments give technical information on each image as well as Lessons to Learn.
The comments are reflective, informative, whimsical, and, like the
preparation section, are there to help someone who is thinking of taking a similar PhotoJourney.

Both sections have cross-reference links as well as links to external sites that I have found useful.

The PDF ebooks are available in 3 different image resolutions and hence 3 different file sizes. The ebook
resolution is a good compromise between file size and image quality.

The PDF has many internal cross-references as well as 40+ links to external sites.

Iceland - a PhotoJourney (2012)In September 2011, I was fortunate in being able to visit Iceland and to spend time photographing there. It is a WOW country!
The people are friendly, English is spoken everywhere, the cost is
reasonable, eating is fun, getting around is easy. Life in Iceland is
relaxed and enjoyable. And photographically it is an amazing country. It is definitely well worth the trip.
For the visitor, there is a very small window of tourism open as travelling becomes difficult
without a 4wd once summer ends.
This PhotoJourney indicates the great photographic
places that you should see if you visit Iceland.

Christmas Island - a PhotoJourney (2014)In late June 2014, a friend and I visited the Australian Territory of Christmas Island,
located 2600 km north-west of Perth, Western Australia, but just 360 km from Java.
It has been called the "Galapagos of the Indian Ocean".
Hot, humid, full of jungles and wildlife.
The rugged coastline, the ubiquitous Red, Blue and Robber Crabs, the easily accessible bird life, all make
Christmas Island a great place for a photographer.
There are a number of pitfalls though if you are not prepared.
So plan well before going.

This PhotoJourney indicates the typical iconic images that you should aim for
if you visit Christmas Island.
This eBook is used by the Christmas Island Tourism Association and is available from their website.
It has been downloaded from there ~300 times (December 2016).The PDF eBooks:

Koh Lipe - a mini snorkelling PhotoJourney (2015)In early January 2015, my beloved and I returned from a holiday in Europe via an Island off the west coast of Thailand called Koh Lipe.
We wanted a place to relax before starting work again, and I was interested in experimenting more with the underwater snorkelling photography I had started on Christmas Island. I had researched various Thai islands and this seemed ideal for relaxing and photography.
The island exceeded my expectations for both aspects.
Koh Lipe is a great place for underwater photography.

This mini PhotoJourney will help you to relax as well as take some stunning underwater photographs.
So plan well before going.

Koh Libong - a snorkelling PhotoJourney (2016)In January 2016, my beloved and I, along with two friends, went for 10 days holiday to an island off the west coast of Thailand called Koh Libong.
We wanted a place to relax before starting work again, and I was interested in further experimenting with underwater snorkelling photography
that I had started on Christmas Island, and continued on Koh Lipe. I had researched various Thai islands and this island seemed ideal for relaxing and also as a base for long-boat trips to other
islands -
Ko Lao Liang,
Ko Kradan,
Ko Rok and
Ko Muk
- for underwater snorkelling photography.
The island was great for all of us, for relaxing and photography.

This snorkelling PhotoJourney will help you to relax as well as take some stunning underwater photographs.

Kangaroo Island - a nature PhotoJourney (2015)In February 2008, two of the authors spent a week or so on Kangaroo Island. In 2015 we, along with two friends, went back there for more
sightseeing. The island has a great abundance of wildlife and natural scenery, so it is ideal for a PhotoJourney.

It is the third largest Australian island and is about 45 minutes by ferry south of the coast of South Australia. The ferry leaves from Cape Jervis
which is about 2 hours south of Adelaide by coach. The island is 150+ kilometers across but with little public transport, so you will probably
either need to take your car across on the ferry, or hire a car there.

It is worth it - Kangaroo Island is a great place for a nature-loving PhotoJourney.

Tasik Ria, Manado - a Diving PhotoJourney (2017)In late 2015, the family of the principal author gave him a PADI diving course for his birthday, something he had wanted to do for a long time. Nothing happened except
research, and a snorkelling holiday for the four authors to
Koh Libong in early 2016. But in late 2016 the other male author said "Let's do it!" and we became diving buddies via
a PADI course at
Dolphin Scuba. Since early 2017, we have been knocking up the weekly dives and taking courses, so as to increase our experience and knowledge.

Dolphin Scuba had a very good value 8 day/7 nights tour to Manado in Sulawesi, Indonesia in June, and the four of us started planning to go. This eBook shows our adventure.

Rottnest Island - a PhotoJourney (2014)Each year the Workshop Camera Club makes a long-weekend photographic excursion to Rottnest Island in September. Rotto is 11 km long and about 4.5 km at its widest point and is easily explored via a bicycle. This, and the wonderful bird, marine and
quokka population, means that it is an ideal place for a relaxed photographic holiday.
Given its popularity by the locals, it is necessary to plan for and book your Rotto trip well in advance.
